LeBron loves his girlfriend. There is no other woman in the world hed rather have. The problem is, Dwyanes not a woman.
If the core group of people I play against in live sports games passes on the $399 version,I'm for sure not getting it right away.

Uh, no. 90% out there don`t give a fuck about Live, HDTV and wireless. They want the cheapest deal and just play their games.
Edit, you might be right about this holiday season, as mostly hardcore gamers will pick it up. Over time though, the more casual will mostly pick up the core pack.

You seem content to buy the standard Xbox 360. Why? You are going to have to pony up 40 bucks for a memory card anyway. Which is only 64mb. So that 300 price is really 340. For 60 bucks more you can buy a removable 20 gig hdd which offers a ton more space. One sku at 349 w/ the hdd (forget the headset and remote) would have been better. With one sku and 10 bucks more you could have had storage which nearly 30 times bigger.
I'll be picking up the premium xbox at launch. It isn't that big of a deal. I had a bunch of money budgeted for the 360 anyway. I'll just buy 9 launch games instead of 11. LOL
I can feel sympathy for the people who were duped by the promises of wireless controllers, HD in the box though... It is a valid reason to bitch, but I think that the majority of them probably will pony up the money for it anyway.

I`m still hoping it will come with a small memory card for that 299 price. If not, oh well. I`ll still buy the core pack.
I don`t need the other stuff. Never used the HD in the Xbox for anything but gamesaves. Not even custom soundtracks.
Why pay 60-100 bucks for something I`ll never need/use ?
Totally.
Even £60 for a wireless adapter is cheaper than you can get 3rd party ones for Xbox (last time i checked anyway).
Im still not sold on 360 though, considering turning in my Jacket if the hard drive is as useless as it now seems and the launch period games dont pan out.

here is a 60GB SATA notebook harddrive for slightly more than the 360 one.
these are not being sold at a loss. and im quite sure MS can get a great deal straight from the manufacturers since they will be buying in bulk..

Oh I don't know...faster loading times due to the HDD?
i agree. fast conversions and always (well almost) 60hz. great quality. that's one of their strenghts.iapetus said:Microsoft have been my favourite PAL console manufacturer this generation. One of the reasons I only own one XBox.

Given the price of the peripherals (their obvious grab for cash strategy) you'd be an absolute jackass to buy the "core" product.

Chalk this Xbot up for one premium pack on November the X.
I fear that with all the money that Sony made with the PS brand they will be able to take some loss and put the PS3 with a decent price and even with a HD

Very few games will take that much space. If not I`d be very surprised.
I`ll propably never buy another memory card. Just like I haven`t with my PS2 (had since japanese launch) and like I never will with my PSP. Just delete some if it gets full.
I don`t see why it`s any more of a rip off than memory cards on other consoles. Again, I would never used the harddrive, it would just be 20 gigs of empty space.

that's the issue though, isn't it? and why 360 has played so poorly? Sony has done nothing but show slick films, talk about next gen-media and features, etc. When they launch their machine with some stunning new tech and the most power being a few bucks more than this overpriced mish-mash isn't going to sting quite the same, is it?
I mean christ, what if the one Sony sku (I bet it's one) is $50 more but I'm getting better tech and better looking games months after I've watched the 360 launch at a premium price for less value?
Their playing out their advantage in time pretty poorly if you ask me.

Not with the new bloke at the helm. Sony simply can't afford it. Infact, I wouldn't be surprised if PS3 is being drastically scaled down as we speak.

This is what Microsoft wanted, us to fight amongst ourselves. It was their plan all along. Their pricing plan is stupid and impractical.
What the fuck. Didn't I buy a 160gb hdd for like $90 from NewEgg a year ago?
Whatever. I was going to consider an X360 close to launch, but for those prices, they can suck me off.
I'll wait for the PS3, and the Revo, and then maybe after I get those, I'll consider an X3 once the prices return to sanity, somewhat.

Not an Xbot at all, but I was considering buying a 360 at launch for RR6, GR3, and Oblivion.
That was when I thought the system would come standard with a wireless controller, hdd, and some form of backwards compatibility.
Now I'm just going to use the money to upgrade my PC or wait for PS3.
M$ really had some momentum going until they made this move.

They have X800pro's for as cheap as 200$ The brand new X850 platinum is 399.00 the exact same price as the 360, and it doesn't come with a hard drive either.
Matter of fact, check out thier prices on 20gig harddrives as well. The 100$ 20-gig harddrive is fucking dumb as shit, and no self-respecting person will EVER say otherwise.
